高盐胁迫对罗布麻生长及离子平衡的影响

采用网室盆栽试验,研究了不同浓度NaCl（100～400 mmol·L^-1）胁迫30 d对罗布麻植株生物量积累、生长速率、根系活力、盐分和矿质离子吸收、分布等的影响.结果表明：100 mmol·L^-1 NaCl处理30 d,罗布麻植株鲜质量和生长速率显著下降,但对其干质量没有影响;随着盐度的增加,罗布麻植株干质量、鲜质量和生长速率均显著降低.100～200 mmol·L^-1 NaCl胁迫下,罗布麻根系活力明显高于对照;300～400 mmol·L^-1 NaCl盐胁迫下,其活力显著降低.随着盐浓度的增加,罗布麻根、茎和叶片Na⁺含量逐渐增加、K⁺含量缓慢降低;叶片Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺含量明显降低,茎部Ca²⁺和根部Mg²⁺含量有不同程度的增加.盐胁迫明显降低了罗布麻根、茎和叶片K⁺/Na⁺、Ca²⁺/Na⁺和Mg²⁺/Na⁺的比率,植株选择性吸收和运输K⁺、Ca²⁺的能力显著提高.罗布麻植株很强的拒盐能力,以及对K⁺、Ca²⁺的选择性吸收和运输是其具有高盐适应性的主要原因.     

丛枝菌根真菌调控根系构型与矿质元素平衡提高西瓜植株耐盐性的研究

丛枝菌根（arbuscular mycorrhiza,AM）真菌可通过多种途径或机制来增强植物的耐盐性,进而促进植株的生长发育。本研究在盆栽条件下设西瓜Citrullus lanatus品种‘京欣四号’幼苗接种变形球囊霉Glomus versiforme和不接种以及施加和不施加100mmol/L NaCl共4个处理,测定植株根系菌根侵染状况、根系构型及其根茎叶中钾（K）、钙（Ca）、磷（P）、钠（Na）含量、K⁺/Na⁺、Ca²⁺/Na和植株生长状况等。AM真菌显著增加了盐胁迫下西瓜植株总根长度、根表面积、根体积和根尖数量,改善了根系构型;促进了西瓜根系对K、Ca和P的吸收,提高了茎Ca和P含量、根系K和P含量、K⁺/Na⁺和Ca²⁺/Na⁺,而降低了根Na⁺含量;茎P和Na⁺、叶K和Ca的含量显著高于其他器官相应含量。典范对应分析表明,根系K含量、K⁺/Na⁺和Ca²⁺/Na⁺与总根长度、主根长度、根表面积、根体积、根尖数量、根平均直径呈正相关;叶K⁺/Na⁺与主根长度呈正相关;根系Na⁺含量与根系总根长、根平均直径和根尖数量呈负相关。接种AM真菌改善了矿质元素平衡及其分配状况。盐胁迫后西瓜植株对菌根的依赖性增强。结果表明,K、Ca、P是AM真菌介导植物耐盐性的关键养分;K⁺/Na⁺和Ca²⁺/Na⁺是重要的矿质元素平衡指标,接种AM真菌能调控植物根系构型和矿质元素平衡状况,从而缓解盐胁迫对西瓜生长的抑制作用,提高植株的耐盐性。     

盐胁迫下蒙古冰草幼苗生长和离子含量的变化

用不同浓度的NaCl溶液处理蒙古冰草幼苗后,测定了不同时间胁迫下植株地上部分鲜重和离子含量。结果表明:轻度盐胁迫对蒙古冰草幼苗的生长有一定的促进作用,而中度和重度盐胁迫对幼苗生长有明显的抑制作用。经分析认为,轻度盐胁迫下蒙古冰草可以将Na⁺等有害离子截流在根部,抑制其向地上部分的运输,而中度和重度盐胁迫下过多的Na⁺等有害离子运输到地上代谢活跃部分,限制了对K⁺、Ca²⁺等的吸收,造成植株的营养亏缺,从而引起植株的伤害。     

罗布麻对不同浓度盐胁迫的生理响应

利用网室盆栽实验, 研究不同浓度的NaCl(100–400 mmol·L^–1)胁迫对罗布麻(Apocynum venetum)生长及生理特性 的影响。结果表明, 100 mmol·L^–1NaCl处理显著降低了罗布麻植株的鲜重, 但对其干重影响不大; 随着盐浓度继续增加, 罗布麻鲜重和干重显著下降。在盐胁迫下, 罗布麻叶片内的丙二醛含量、电解质渗漏率、根部和地上部Na⁺的含量明显增加, K⁺的含量随着盐离子浓度的增加而降低。盐胁迫显著降低了地上部Ca²⁺的含量, 而对根部Ca²⁺的含量没有影响。植株K⁺/Na⁺和Ca²⁺/Na⁺比值随着盐胁迫强度的增加而降低。盐胁迫显著促进了罗布麻根部对K⁺和Ca²⁺的选择性吸收及对K⁺的选择性运输。当NaCl浓度小于或等于200 mmol·L^–1时, 随着盐离子浓度的增加, 罗布麻叶片内的脯氨酸和可溶性糖积累显著增加,而当NaCl浓度大于200 mmol·L^–1时, 这2种有机溶质含量显著下降。总体上, 罗布麻通过积累无机离子、合成有机溶质及维持较高的K⁺、Ca²⁺选择性吸收和运输来适应一定浓度(≤200 mmol·L^–1NaCl)的盐胁迫。

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi regulate the oxidative system,hormones and ionic equilibrium to trigger salt stress tolerance in Cucumis sativus L.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) association increases plant stress tolerance. This study aimed to determine the mitigation effect of AMF on the growth and metabolic changes of cucumbers under adverse impact of salt stress. Salinity reduced the water content and synthesis of pigments. However, AMF inoculation ameliorated negative effects by enhancing the biomass, synthesis of pigments, activity of antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase and glutathione reductase, and the content of ascorbic acid, which might be the result of lower level lipid peroxidation and electrolyte leakage. An accumulation of phenols and proline in AMF-inoculated plants also mediated the elimination of superoxide radicals. In addition, jasmonic acid, salicylic acid and several important mineral elements (K, Ca, Mg, Zn, Fe, Mn and Cu) were enhanced with significant reductions in the uptake of deleterious ions like Na+. These results suggested that AMF can protect cucumber growth from salt stress.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis regulates the physiological responses,ion distribution and relevant gene expression to trigger salt stress tolerance in pistachio

Mycorrhizal symbiosis is generally considered effective in ameliorating plant tolerance to abiotic stress by altering gene expression, and evaluation of genes involved in ion homeostasis and nutrient uptake. This study aimed to use arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) to alleviate salinity stress and analyse relevant gene expression in pistachio plants under No/NaCl stress in greenhouse conditions. Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis was used to study the physiological responses, ion distribution and relevant gene expression in pistachio plants under salinity stress. After four months of symbiosis, mycorrhizal root colonization showed a significant reduction in all tested parameters under salt stress treatment compared to non-saline treatment. Salinity affected the morphological traits, and decreased the nutrient content including N, P, Mg and Fe as well as K/Na and Ca/Na ratios, relative water content (RWC), membrane stability index (MSI), and increased the concentration of K, Ca and Na nutrient, glycine betaine, ROS and MDA. Inoculation of seedlings with AMF mitigated the negative effects of salinity on plant growth as indicated by increasing the root colonization, morphological traits, glycine betaine, RWC and MSI. Specifically, under salinity stress, shoot and root dry weight, P and Fe nutrient content, K/Na and Ca/Na ratio of AMF plants were increased by 53.2, 48.6, 71.6, 60.2, 87.5, and 80.1% respectively, in contrast to those of the NMF plants. The contents of Na, O^2•− and MDA in AMF plants were significantly decreased by 66.8, 36.8, and 23.1%, respectively at 250 mM NaCl. Moreover, salinity markedly increased SOS1, CCX2 and SKOR genes expression and the inoculation with AMF modulated these genes expression; however, NRT2.4, PHO1 and PIP2.4 gene expressions were increased by salinity and AMF. It could be concluded that inoculation of AMF with Rhizophagus irregularis conferred a larger endurance towards soil salinity in pistachio plants and stimulate the nutrient uptake and ionic homeostasis maintenance, superior RWC and osmoprotection, toxic ion partitioning, maintaining membrane integrity and the ion-relevant genes expression.     

减量施氮对大棚黄瓜产量和品质的影响

利用在东部沿海丘陵区玻璃大棚中的长期定位试验,设置农民习惯施氮(N₁, 800 kg·hm^-2)、氮减量25%(N₂, 600 kg·hm^-2)、氮减量50%(N₃, 400 kg ·hm^-2)、不施肥(CK)4种不同化肥施氮水平和施有机肥(ON, 400 kg N·hm^-2)处理,研究了不同施氮量对黄瓜产量及品质的影响.结果表明: 与农民习惯施氮相比,施氮量减少50%能保证黄瓜的果实产量,并大幅提高经济效益.不同处理黄瓜果实硝酸盐含量范围在94.2～136.1 mg·kg^-1,均未超过我国蔬菜卫生安全标准,不同施肥处理比CK增加了18.1%～44.5%,其中N₃处理下增加幅度最小.施用化肥降低了黄瓜果实中Vc、可溶性糖和可溶性蛋白含量,在施氮量600 kg·hm^-2处理中最低.不同施氮处理在短期内改变土壤pH等理化性质,然而在过量施肥条件下黄瓜产量、经济效益与土壤性质无显著相关性.因此,在东部沿海丘陵区的大棚生产条件下,氮肥施用量减少50%可以保证黄瓜产量和果实品质.

A meta-analysis of arbuscular mycorrhizal effects on plants grown under salt stress

Salt stress limits crop yield and sustainable agriculture in most arid and semiarid regions of the world. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are considered bio-ameliorators of soil salinity tolerance in plants. In evaluating AMF as significant predictors of mycorrhizal ecology, precise quantifiable changes in plant biomass and nutrient uptake under salt stress are crucial factors. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to analyze the magnitude of the effects of AMF inoculation on growth and nutrient uptake of plants under salt stress through meta-analyses. For this, data were compared in the context of mycorrhizal host plant species, plant family and functional group, herbaceous vs. woody plants, annual vs. perennial plants, and the level of salinity across 43 studies. Results indicate that, under saline conditions, AMF inoculation significantly increased total, shoot, and root biomass as well as phosphorous (P), nitrogen (N), and potassium (K) uptake. Activities of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, and ascorbate peroxidase also increased significantly in mycorrhizal compared to nonmycorrhizal plants growing under salt stress. In addition, sodium (Na) uptake decreased significantly in mycorrhizal plants, while changes in proline accumulation were not significant. Across most subsets of the data analysis, identities of AMF (Glomus fasciculatum) and host plants (Acacia nilotica, herbs, woody and perennial) were found to be essential in understanding plant responses to salinity stress. For the analyzed dataset, it is concluded that under salt stress, mycorrhizal plants have extensive root traits and mycorrhizal morphological traits which help the uptake of more P and K, together with the enhanced production of antioxidant enzymes resulting in salt stress alleviation and increased plant biomass.     

Response of two tomato cultivars differing in salt tolerance to inoculation with mycorrhizal fungi under salt stress

Effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and salt stress on nutrient acquisition and growth of two tomato cultivars exhibiting differences in salt tolerance were investigated. Plants were grown in a sterilized, low-P (silty clay) soil-sand mix. Salt was applied at saturation extract (EC_e) values of 1.4 (control), 4.9 (medium) and 7.1 dS m^–1 (high salt stress). Mycorrhizal colonization occurred irrespective of salt stress in both cultivars, but AMF colonization was higher under control than under saline soil conditions. The salt-tolerant cultivar Pello showed higher mycorrhizal colonization than the salt-sensitive cultivar Marriha. Shoot dry matter (DM) yield and leaf area were higher in mycorrhizal than nonmycorrhizal plants of both cultivars. Shoot DM and leaf area but not root DM were higher in Pello than Marriha. The enhancement in shoot DM due to AMF inoculation was 22% and 21% under control, 31% and 58% under medium, and 18% and 59% under high salinity for Pello and Marriha, respectively. For both cultivars, the contents of P, K, Zn, Cu, and Fe were higher in mycorrhizal than nonmycorrhizal plants under control and medium saline soil conditions. The enhancement in P, K, Zn, Cu, and Fe acquisition due to AMF inoculation was more pronounced in Marriha than in the Pello cultivar under saline conditions. The results suggest that Marriha benefited more from AMF colonization than Pello under saline soil conditions, despite the fact that Pello roots were highly infected with the AMF. Thus, it appears that Marriha is more dependent on AMF symbiosis than Pello. Accepted: 22 January 2001
